Chapter 236: Porridge Shed (3)
Zhu Lu had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "Three days ago, I went to a gambling house outside the city to play a few games, and my hand was not smooth, and the silver on my body ran out. Who would have thought that as soon as I walked out of the gambling house, I was surrounded by five or six thugs, who thought I was a hillbilly and forced me to borrow money to continue gambling. ”
"You got into a fight with them?" Shen Xiao was not surprised, Zhu Lu had an honest face, and he was a cripple, unkempt, obviously never short of money, but he didn't know where to find the clothes on his body, they were worn, old, wrinkled, and it was normal to be targeted by the gangsters.
Zhu Lu said helplessly: "If it were in the capital, I really wouldn't dare to fight with them, you don't know, Miss Hua is still staring at me now, and I don't know if that eldest lady is idle." But I'm really not afraid of going out of the city, aren't I just a few gangsters? Am I still afraid of them? ”
Shen Xiao snorted coldly, stood up, and walked behind Zhu Lu.
On Zhu Lu's tanned bronzed back, there were several scars horizontally and vertically, and bones were deeply visible.
"You got involved with a couple of thugs, but you got hurt." Shen Xiao said mockingly.
Zhu Lu was cheeky and cheeky, but he couldn't hold it anymore, so he had to defend: "It's me who has lost his eyes, this group of gangsters has a bit of a background, and it will never be real gangsters, two of them are still first-class masters, I almost lost my life, if I hadn't taken it into my mind and jumped into the ice cave, this old life would not have been guaranteed."
Zhu Lu is a water bandit, he dares to go into the ice cave and escape underwater, but those gangsters don't have the ability, let alone jump in, so they can only watch him escape in the water.
"Got a master?" Shen Xiao asked.
Zhu Lu nodded and said: "Not only those two are masters, but the other few are not weak, all of them are practitioners, and the move looks like the tip of the knife rolls over, and the move is to greet the deadly place, I came out of the river, and I no longer have the strength to go back to the city, so I had to hide in a wild liao outside the city for three days, and today I have recovered my strength, so I can come to ask Doctor Yue for treatment." ”
"According to you, you have been out of the city for all three days? Who else but yourself can prove it? Shen Xiao asked.
Zhu Lu swallowed his saliva and said a little embarrassedly: "Xiaohong has been waiting for me for the past three days, she can prove it." ”
"Little Red? A maid? Shen Xiao asked puzzled.
"What kind of maid, didn't he say it, he has been living in Yeliaozi for the past three days, that Xiaohong Bacheng is the sister in Yeliaozi, this kid is injured and does not forget to be merry and happy." Yue closed the medicine box and stood up.
Shen Xiao understood now, it turned out that Yeliaozi was that kind of place.
He suddenly felt that there was a bad smell in the house, not the smell of medicine, this was the smell of Zhu Lu's body.
Where did you go to get contaminated?
Shen Xiao took out a snow-white handkerchief and covered his nose.
For his actions, whether it is Yue Li or Zhu Lu, it is commonplace, Shen Sigongzi's handkerchief is only used once, and he throws it once, in the past, it was four maids who made him a handkerchief, but now when he returns to the house, he has made hundreds of handkerchiefs in the sewing room and sent them over.
Through the veil, Shen Xiao said to Zhu Lu: "Among the few people who fought with you that day, one died, and the cause of death was internal injuries. You fought that day, maybe someone saw it, someone told Suncheonfu, and now Suncheonfu is looking for you. ”
Shuntianfu is looking for someone to be light and heavy, if you just find someone to ask, it's just that. However, Zhu Lu was originally a prisoner ordered by the imperial court, and if he was found by Shuntianfu, he would only be able to subjugate the law.
"What? And what's going on? Fourth son, I was wronged, I was forced to jump into the ice cave that day, where is there any strength to fight back, let alone beat people to death, at that time I was lucky to be able to escape. Zhu Lu did not forget to defend himself.
Shen Xiao didn't see the weakness in Zhu Lu's eyes, so he said, "If you didn't hurt that person, then you are in someone else's calculations in this matter." ”
"Calculation?" Zhu Lu was taken aback, before that, he had forced himself to forget about being beaten to jump into the ice hole, such a loss of face could not be remembered, otherwise he would not only be tired, but also lose self-confidence.
Zhu Lu has always been a confident person.
"Aren't you already suspicious?" Shen Xiao said.
Zhu Lu was indeed suspicious, it was not the first time he had fought with the gangsters on the street, since he was a child, but it was the first time he had met such a good gangster.
Those people are not gangsters, and they have come to trouble him with ulterior motives.
But what is there in you that is worthy of the plot of others?
Zhu Lu three provinces of my body: high? Rich or not? Is it handsome?
Answer: No!
So why would anyone still plot against him, whether it was his torn clothes or his identity as a wanted criminal?
Yes, it's identity, he's a wanted criminal, so just push the case onto him.
If he has not been heard from since, then this case will be held on his head, and it will become a death case and an unsolved case, and in the end, because he cannot be caught, the case will be closed.
But what if he was caught by the yamen? People like him, who have too many lice and don't feel biting, may think that this is a heroic act, be proud of themselves, and shout before cutting off their heads: Twenty years later, it will be a good sweat again.
Thinking about it, Zhu Lu felt that he was very pitiful and aggrieved, and he was even more wronged than Dou E on the stage.
Shen Xiao glanced at him deeply and said, "I'll have people come over later, you can draw the faces of those gangsters, and draw as many as you remember." ”
"Well, the person you asked to paint is not reliable, and he won't poke my business out, right?" Zhu Lu asked aggrievedly.
"That's not something you should worry about." Shen Xiao said coldly.
"Okay." Zhu Lu accepted his fate.
Hua Jingyao was looking through the book she had just sent over in the bookstore, and heard that peace and joy had come.
Hua Jingyao frowned, she mentioned Zhu Lu to Yin Zhutou, Shen Xiao was in a hurry, and came to her to settle accounts.
Hua Jingyao turned her head to look at the big stone in the backyard, settling accounts, who is afraid of whom?
But the people who came only had peace and joy, and Shen Xiao did not come.
Peace and joy with a kind face, respectful and humble so that people can't find fault.
"Miss Huada, I heard the eldest prince say a while ago that some of your subordinates are good at painting portraits, and the paintings are more realistic than the wanted warrants issued by the government, and the eldest prince has praised you in private, even the fourth son of my family said that Miss Hua is full of talents, and Miss Huada is a rare Bole!"
